Drag Ball

Drag Ball is an annual event in which you dress in drag and attend the party in fully-decorated Wilder. Some nationally-known drag queens and kings are invited as guests each year. The Ball has been traditionally viewed as the final event in Transgender Awareness Week, which features workshops and events addressing and educating about transgender issues (among other things?), but is no longer connected with it.

Tickets are around $12.

Pictures from Drag Ball 2006 can be found on Flickr. Check out all pictures tagged "dragball" for more. The Flaming Blades have their own pictures too.

Drag Ball 2010 is reportedly canceled.[1]

[edit] Opinions

Drag Ball is kind of like the prom of Oberlin, and it's a lot of fun to see all your friends in drag. Recommended. --User:Bogazog, 27 June 2008
